When your feet hurt, life’s a drag. Sore feet can make moving painful and cause problems throughout your body. Luckily, custom orthotics can relieve feet and joint discomfort.
The experienced team at Family Foot and Ankle Center of South Jersey understands the important part your feet play in your life. Our podiatrists offer prescription orthotics constructed from a custom mold of your foot taken in our Cherry Hill, New Jersey office.
Your body knows when your feet aren’t properly aligned and tries to compensate for the misalignment by changing to the way you walk and run. This overcompensation can lead to pain in your feet, joints, back, shoulders, and neck.

This approach enables doctors to identify your specific foot condition, pressure points, and areas with strengths and weaknesses.
Your appointment for custom orthotics begins with a review of your medical history and symptoms. We’ll perform a physical exam of your legs, feet, and ankles. We’ll also observe the way you walk and run.
Next, we’ll use advanced technology to make a computerized, 3D image of your foot. Experts use these measurements and pictures to create your custom orthotics. These individual orthotics provide:
Custom orthotics let your feet properly support your body, which translates into better body alignment. When your body is correctly aligned, stability goes up and your risk of injury goes down.
